Hope all Dads out there had a nice day; how did you spend it? Out of interest how do you all rate the day itself (and Mothers Day), shouldn't every day we be appreciated as parents without a designated day?? It appears that the retail industry certainly "flog" it, i.e. how much to spend??? W...

G'day all, Tomorrow morning we are off for a trip from Perth to Kalbarrie, Can't wait to get on the road, unfortunately it is only a 2 - 3 week trip this time around but we will enjoy it anyhow. When we are away from home we don't have any internet access so will catch up with all the news when we return. Best Re...

Hi we are new members and have read alot about picking fruit and veg in the great book, The grey Nomads. We have been on the road and doing the harvest trail in NZ for the past four years, we now are heading to Australia (to be with our family) and want to continue. We have always worked in the packhouse, wher...

Just joined the grey nomads. May even stop dyeing the hair. Looking forward to meeting some of you in cyberspace or even on the road. I'm a solo traveller heading off From Victoria to the Flinders Ranges in October. Would welcome any suggestions of places to see and stay.

Yep..having one of those days. Just can't get myself motivated to do any simple task today. Fed the chickens, gathered the eggs, fed the dog, fed the cat,made breakfast, washed the dishes,did a load of laundry and hanging on the line,swept the floor,and now sitting here feeling quite dumb with not ha...

the dragon and I were sitting at a coffee shop at our local shopping centre when we observed a middle aged lady walking up the carpark row, turned and took a picture, she walked to the entrance and turned and took another picture, turned 90deg. and took another one, another 45deg and yep another, I said t...

G'day all, A short while ago I had a professional caravan repairer fit two new Tail Lights to my 1986 Jayco Songbird, had a pro do the job as the old ones were well and truly corroded and I wanted to make sure all was done right. I noticed he used about 3/4 inch self drilling screws to secure the backing plate...

Ok good question.... I am here simply because I like free stuff. I don't enjoy the fora where things are run by vested interests and the moderator jumps down your throat because he/she does not want you telling the truth about a product that may be deleterious on the advertisng $$ that they chase. I find...

Ok so it's not not a pretty landscape picture however, still a welcome sign at the end of the day.

Glad I found this site it has very interesting and diverse people with a great deal of knowledge and differing points of view . Just great I am concerned at the number of van/ camping parks on the Mid North Coast of NSW that have closed or in the process of closing to make way for highrise development of for...

I grew up having a roast every sunday and continue to do so today. Our van doesn't have an oven and I was a little concerned how I was going to keep the tradition going. Found this little beauty at Cash convertors for only $20, its a small 600W rotisorie, so far have cooked a small chook-35minutes and a smal...

I was just getting my daily fix of the nomads website and thought about back when i was a city dweller (many years ago) when going from one side of the city to get something on the other side was such a long way to go. How things change when you have spent time on the open road. Only 4 more weeks and we are off to t...

Sorry for not being here and assisting Basil'nDave lately, but my help was required in the Riverland. An elderly citrus block owner (chap has 2 artificial knees) was at a crisis stage due to the water restrictions etc; so me and another bloke spent a swag of days up there hedge trimming his trees (Navel...

It is a shame that you two guys have to prop up this site, and your efforts must be commended, and the info put forward. It maybe time to back off a little and see if it deserves to survive as unfortunately the Davo annd Basil show is a little boring. Not to be offensive, but a wake up call.

I live in Canberra. We have 4 seasons here. I've lived here since 1979.....Do I like it here?? sorry no, I'd prefer to live on the coast, near a beach (free) unfortunatley the cost has me snookered. Seriously Canberra was a great place to bring up kids, all amenities were available, plenty of "gre...

Now I have to tell ya's all I'm waiting for someone to post along the lines of: "Single male seeks single female VMIS" For those of you who are interested, I'm short, fat, bald, ugly, inteligent, educated (tertiary), articulate, non smoker, non humper, social drinker, loves the outdoors...

A couple of shot of the GAB and the GAFA. Nothing takes me by surprise anymore, I've seen a bloke pushing lawn mower along the highway from Brisbane others dragging hand carts across the Simpson with a blue healer in tow ,pushing wheel barrows up the gun barrel highway paddling canoes down croc inf...
